He did apologize, repeatedly, just not in this interview.
I dunno about anyone else, but I personally don’t expect him to apologize every time he speaks in public for the next 10 years.

I kept anticipating a turn that never came.

I liked Mike just fine, and he seems like a really good guy—certainly too good for Bachelor nation—but he makes for some boring TV. The fact that there was so little coverage of his time in Paradise tells me he probably didn’t give them much to work with in the way of engaging content.

And most telling is the seeming jealousy that Shaun takes in $160k over a couple of years?! Even if it was one year, do people really think this is a lot?

Hi.

“only a modest income of $4,166 per month (without benefits)”

I loved Pete so much, he was my favorite contestant, which is why I’m not PISSED, but yeah it should have been mike.  My only thought as to why it might not be is because A) He’s black, and B) He’s a little too drama free.  It shoulda been him, but hey I still love Pilot Pete. 

(Sorry, this wasn’t supposed to be a reply for this BS comment, but )ALSO:

I have to say, most of the drivers are big complainers. I’m sorry. I totally agree that drivers are employees in the current model. And that the model itself needs to change. But my goodness are these guys whimps. “I want to work my own hours and get paid $25 an hour to do it.”

And someone who JUST started doing this is complaining about the market being flooded? What?

The damnedest thing is that many of the writers say they’re losing money, but neglect to say why they won’t stop driving. It’s like blaming the knife manufacturers for your constantly stabbing yourself in the leg.

One of the drivers noted something I’ve suspected since the beginning: These companies are exploiting people’s lack of basic math skills and decision not to look at expenses.

The “very public war” link appears to be broken, which I wanted to read because I was under the impression that VS started the rivalry.

“She also refused to use trans inclusive language and made other language choices that was very obviously about respectability politics.”

“Wen, who is now a visiting professor at George Washington University, continues to push that misguided opinion.”

That’s really not what her approach was though. Her “This Is Healthcare” campaign wasn’t about convincing people that abortion is healthcare, it was about convincing people that Planned Parenthood did “acceptable” healthcare. She added a bunch of stuff to Planned Parenthood’s website about treating asthma and common…

I don’t think that’s what she’s aiming at though. Going by her op-ed, she wanted to take a reproductive justice (which yes is political) approach of abortion is a standard practice medical procedure on par with pap smear and so should be as accessible as a pap smear.

I once worked for a small community based women’s organization where a board member was recruited who signed a board pledge/agreement (the organization had a non-negotiable pro-choice stance and this was the first point). She actually became a good board member over time. But at her second meeting something came up…

I’m not attempting to question if her firing was merited or not - like I said, I don’t know the ins and outs of the situation - but the article implies that her APPROACH is inherently bad and I’m curious as to why. 

I’m sure I’ll get slammed for this, but, is she entirely wrong? I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know anything about the specifics of her planned approach, so I don’t know if part of it was to simply stop worrying about legislation that is being passed left and right limiting access which is a HORRIBLE idea,…
